Has anybody tried to type with the brace on? Have you found it not too bulky?

It's a little awkward to type with since it wants to keep your thumb and wrist from moving. Typing is possible, I find that I tend to hit the space bar a lot by accident with the brace on. Also I imagine it's be real hard to play any video games as well due to decreased mobility.

I had to type with it on...the thumb part is to bulky but I typed ok with it...but I was so glad to have it off because I typed a lot better without it...the thickness of the thumb is the problem...

I could type a little slower with it on, but it was awkward when it was on the right hand. When it was on my left hand it was no problem as I used my right thumb for the space bar. Hope this helps.

I work in a inbound call center and had no problems with it. It was a little bulky but I could still type with it on.

I could not type efficiently with it on. I switch to the Bracoo brace for typing, but prefer this brace for most other tasks.

If you are dedicated (i.e. can not stay off your computer), you will find a way to overcome the bulkiness. It is possible to type with these braces on, but not for a long time. Eventually you want to take the brace off.

I doubt it would be good for working on a computer because its very bulky and restricts fingers from moving side to side and the bottom part practically covers all bottom of the fingers can't imagine typing with this brace. It is a very strong, stable, and stout. Its a great brace for sleeping but typing wouldn't be ideal with this brace in my opinion and experience.

It is stiffer than the older one I had, springier I guess. Surprisingly enough, my thumb is doing fine and I use it a lot. I have not had to use my wrist / thumb brace at all that I can remember with it. It also may have to do with the scroll ring which I really like and use more and more instead of holding down the button to scroll. Maybe you just need to use it for a few days to see. Hope this helps. :)

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.

I have one and its to larger to type with your thumbs. Its about the size of a NetBooks keyboard, an inch or two smaller than the keyboard on a notebook.

No it wasn't too bad. It took a couple of days to get used to it, but after that it was fine. The main thing is the right small finger tends to sit more on the [apostrophe and quote] key instead of the [colon/semicolon] like on a normal sized keyboard.

It doesn't move around a lot while typing, but you wouldn't want to type out an email while using it. It's really not at an angle convenient for typing, but I got mine in order to use a bluetooth keyboard.

For me it works great and doesn't interfere with my typing. I use it daily. My only complaint is because it is aluminum it's cold on your wrists sometimes

When it comes to typing I found myself typing juuuuust a touch heavier. However after about a week or so the skin itself started to have this "broken in" feel to it and now I know it's there but as far as typing I'm pretty much back to my normal. Hope this helped. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Kay, when I first received my new cell I thought the same thing. However, after using it, I like the little angle of the keyboard. Also, it is probably more ergonomically correct.Bill

Mine fits fine without a keyboard and I think that it will be too tight with one.

The typing is great. I'm pretty sure a Zagg skin protector would work but I don't use one because I don't know what you would gain.

I'm using it that way. It's a tight fit and doesn't always stay attached. Also I had to remove the screen protector. Keyboard works great but the way it stages can be improved.

I hear the keyboard is fine. It takes a bit of getting used to as there's no curvature to the keys, but they're supposed to be firm and easy to press. Personally I'd appreciate it just because the solid backing makes it harder to ruin your computer with a spilled drink, and the recessed tray means your display doesn't rub against the keys when closed.

It is a bit difficult to use without the brace with the stronger bands. The bands do break in and get easier to use. If you plan on using the stronger bands I do recommend the wrist brace. The wrist brace is quite cheap and we'll worth it when using the stronger bands.

I just checked, I didn't notice until you asked the question! Maybe a hair smaller, not like my fingers are cramped, but slightly closer together than my laptop that I'm typing on now....and I have thick fingers. But then again, I didn't even notice it until now to even have it be an issue.
